r/norge on Reddit: Nintendo will brick your console if you mod it.
I think I'm grateful that we have the Consumer Council that speaks for consumers in cases like this! I've modded many Nintendo consoles, not to pirate games, but to unlock extra features. Examples: -DS: Video and music player -Wii: Unlock widescreen support for GameCube games -Wii U: Unlock playing on the gamepad in all games I plan to mod my Switch in the future as well, to unlock overclocking and get better performance in games. Really sucks if Nintendo tries to kill my console because I'm trying to increase the joy of playing the games I legally bought.

Nintendo might brick your Switch if you break the rules | The Verge
May 13, 2025 - According to a recently updated account services user agreement and privacy policy, Nintendo reserves the right to, “render the Nintendo Account Services and / or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.” The change, first reported by Game File, came with a May 7th update and centers on Nintendo’s policy regarding how players use their consoles and Nintendo accounts.

r/NintendoSwitch2 on Reddit: I hate the argument that "Nintendo will brick your Switch 2 if you mod it." Here's why:
I've noticed that a few of people's major worries regarding the Switch 2 (which are similar to worries about past Nintendo systems as well) are based on very extreme/catastrophic thinking: "Nintendo will brick my Switch 2 if I try to mod it." - Not if you wait until there's a confirmed safe exploit and you know how to follow instructions properly. By the end of the console's life cycle or middle of the next console's life, this will be relatively easy and almost completely consequence-free. "I'll lose all access to my digital game cards and digital games when servers shut down or when there's an apocalyptic event." - You can still redownload digital games from the Wii and 3DS eshops if you own them. Modern digital storefronts are way better than old ones as well. Plus, Nintendo is not going anywhere anytime soon unlike stuff like Ouya. If there is an apocalyptic event that causes all digital storefronts to go down, then there will be much more important things to focus on than redownloading and replaying games you've already played.
